Honestly, not sure why this topic of discussion is slowly working my nerves lately. But in 2014, the fact that we are still caught up in the whole light skin / dark skin thing is some pure tom foolery. But for whatever reason, people seem to want to keep this subject alive. In watching Lupita’s speech, I’ve realized (even though the subject matter is still annoying) this is a real issue, going on every day. There are girls out here, literally praying to be lighter skinned. With that being said, I still really enjoyed Lupita’s speech at the Essence Magazine Black Women in Hollywood Luncheon. This lady has a way with words, love the way she told that story. If you have a girl in your life that needs some inspiration, tell her to check this out!
